Suffering is miserable. When you're overwhelmed by pain and problems, it's easy to feel helpless, hopeless and sinking into a whirlpool of self-pity. Joni Eareckson Tada knows about these emotions first hand. A diving accident in 1967 left her confined to a wheelchair as a quadriplegic at the age of 17. Joni knows what it's like to suffer chronic pain. Yet she has found comfort and meaning in the God of the Bible.

Making Sense of Suffering is a Scripture-based pamphlet that will bring hope and comfort to those who are going through for personal difficulties, and will be a great help to groups dealing with grief, disabilities, emotional and physical trauma, divorce, and more.

Best-selling author Joni Eareckson Tada has written a set of six topical booklets that are part of the ongoing Themes of Faith collection. Well acquainted with hardship, a diving accident at age 17 left Joni quadriplegic, yet her faith in the face of it sparked a worldwide ministry. Tada writes here about suffering, Gods sovereignty, prayer, unanswered prayer, anger, and depression. Each 14-page, full-color booklet is richly illustrated, carries a self-explanatory title regarding the content, and serves as an always-ready reference tool for personal use or on the mission field. Dozens of other Themes of Faith booklets are also available covering a broad range of issues.
